Hehe, yeah, heard there was pretty much no chance of that happening. That news was what caused me to look the game up again and start playing it.
The creator basically got his feelings hurt on twitter, took his game and went home.
Weird. Game design isn't for those with a thin skin I guess.
To be fair, Phil Fish was a huge twat.
Oh, I agree.
Yeah, Phil Fish is just an enormous asshole. The industry is better without him.
The Wolf Among Us is really, really good.
I had never read any of Fables, so the setting is new to me. But hey, they're fairytale characters, right? So I know them well enough.
If you like TellTale style games, and/or if you liked the Walking Dead games (part 2 is still ongoing) then you'll love this game.
Also, the art style is goddamn beautiful.

My brother and a friend of ours are pretty hardcore addicted. Our friend's even been on the dev's weekly gameplay stream.
How the heck do you nerf AC 2s？ It's not like they're amazing to begin with.
You put them in MechWarrior Online.
In Mechwarrior Online, the light mechs (and thus light weapons) are actually rather good in the right hands. This is probably just another nerf to lights so that the Atlas Doom Squad doesn't have to feel inferior to the lights.

By increasing their cooldown time by one quarter, and cutting their max range in half.
Actually, it's to nerf the AC2/AC5 ballistic boats, as I understand it... and I kind of do, because I have a jagermech which mounts four AC2, which puts out more DPS than an AC/20 and at any range. Or rather, it did, yesterday.
I honestly haven't played since they nerfed Missile Boats into oblivion. Look, if you don't want to get blown up from across the map, stop acting like a retard and use cover... but NOOO... that would upset the heavies.

Well, you might like the state of the game now.. LRMS got a massive buff a couple patches ago, and NARC beacons actually do something now. LRMs are king again.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - PGI was clearly not ready to run with the big dogs. There'd just been such a drought of mechwarrior titles though, that there were all kinds of neckbeards lined up and ready to literally shove hundreds of dollars each at them just based on promises of "it's gonna be cool." They're only a couple months from the launch of Clan mechs (for those who spent hundreds of dollars pre-purchasing them in January), I can hardly wait to see how they screw them up. They've already released the info on the Timberwolf. Do we still call it an omnimech even though it has no omni hardpoints?

It's such a weird game. I just can't tell if it's good or not. Some aspects of it are awesome, and some are just....well weird. The whole Parkour thing doesn't work well at all right now though.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Went the loser New Game + route (aka keep all my levels and money and stuff instead of starting fresh) and raced back to where I was. Now I'm on the Neutral route and THANKS A LOT, GAME for locking crucial plot details behind a story arc that you can't access unless you're alignment ranges within a specific middle 16 points on a scale of 200. But at least now I'm taking time to check out the game world at end-game instead of racing to the final dungeon.
Megaman II: Okay, I can totally see why this has a huge fan base and I wish I'd had it when I was little with my NES. That said, I have a feeling this going to be really short.

The game, or your interest in it? Granted, if you're decent you can beat mega man 2 in less than a couple hours (tool assisted speedruns seem to run around 30 mins), but you're just starting out.. and you probably aren't playing on hard mode either, are you?
The game--my interest is piqued for other entries.
And you're right; I didn't consider that I'm playing on Normal. I'll up the difficulty.

Fun fact... the Japanese version didn't have multiple modes... they thought American's couldn't hack it so they made an easier mode for us and called it "normal" and what they played in Japan as "hard."
Hard mode in Mega Man 2 is regular Japanese difficulty.[DOUBLEPOST=1397690259,1397690229][/DOUBLEPOST]
What he said moments before.
NES/SNES games are notorious for that. Square did the same to the US release of FF2 (removed a couple abilities and reduced difficulty), and there were multiple changes/edits in FF3. FF Mystic Quest was actually called Final Fantasy USA in other markets.
Ironically, this changed in the PSX/PS2 era. Then it was the Japanese getting mercy options and the American and European versions that were made more difficult, usually by default.
Ninja Gaiden on the NES in general is an exercise in not snapping controllers in half. Any game that knocks your avatar backwards when hit makes me rage uncontrollably.
